Abstract

A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include determining wagering game content presented in a computerized graphical interface on a wagering game machine display. The operations can further include determining sound content that is presentable via a plurality of audio production devices associated with a wagering game machine. The plurality of audio production devices can be positioned in relation to the wagering game machine display to produce a multi-directional audio field that originates from the wagering game content. The operations can determine a position of the computerized graphical interface in relation to the wagering game machine display. The operations can further control distribution of the sound content on the plurality of audio production devices based on the position of the computerized graphical interface on the wagering game machine display.
